I don't want to merely mark time

Hellooo

It's been a long time since i posted anything on this forsaken blog. I did promise that i would blog sometime this week, and since i have time before my next exam, i thought i will blog.

The last time i blogged, i thought i would do more with it. I actually did change the skin of the blog, added two posts and that was it.

So, what has happened since then? In terms of blogging, as you can tell, nothing much. However, this year has started off really busy, with quite a fair bit to do. I can't say if i actually did a lot. Surely not as much as i wanted to, but here i am, on the brink of finishing my last exam as an undergrad.

Where to from here? I'm not too sure myself. But, one thing i do know is this, it's amazing to know God's grace. Really. Putting aside all humble pretense and saying the right stuff, I have made it this far in life (not 'that' far) just scraping the surface of what i think life has to offer. We start off as little boys (for some, girls) with big dreams of doctors and firefighters or knights in armor and all, only to stumble and bump ourselves left and right to get to wherever we are right now; flattering or unflattering, whether we like it or not.

Quoting Jim Cymbala, "I discovered an astonishing truth: God is attracted to weakness. He can't resist those who humbly and honestly admit how they desperately need Him..."

"I despaired at the thought that my life might slip by without seeing God show Himself mightily on our behalf. I didn't want merely to mark time."

I don't want to merely tread water throughout my life. Seemingly doing much but not moving anywhere. Yea sure, today many live life without the existence of God. Life as we live it, is at it is. Hard knocks or soft knocks. We ask questions like. "Why God?" "Surely IF there is a God..."

There IS more to this life. There IS hope for tomorrow. I stand as a testimony of imperfection and i stand as a testimony of i-don't-know-where-I'd-be without-God.
